The victim is a 35-year-old dentist from Glasgow, according to DNA Info.
She was not badly injured and refused medical attention.

“We will advocate for a full investigation,” the Council on America-Islamic Relations wrote on Facebook.

A number of attacks were reported on Muslims around the 9/11 anniversary.

In New York last week, a Muslim woman and her two young children were
allegedly attacked in what prosecutors called a hate crime. And in
Orlando, someone set fire to the mosque once attended by Pulse nightclub
shooter Omar Mateen, Huffington Post reports.
